When questioned by a reporter aboard Air Force One about the optics of President Obama vacationing in Palm Beach this weekend, White House principal deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama deserves some time off.

"The president is going to enjoy the Presidents' Day weekend with some friends," Earnest said

[Mortrey]

Watch for a hurricane or earthquake to come out of the blue.

You know, if it were me in the WH I would live pretty lean...Lobster only 3 times a week, Kobe beef only twice a week and fried chicken, chitlens, frenchfries and watermelon the other 2 days.

“You know, if it were me in the WH I would live pretty lean...Lobster only 3 times a week, Kobe beef only twice a week and fried chicken, chitlens, frenchfries and watermelon the other 2 days.”

With lots of Ripple and Old English as your only extravagance.

[Vendome]

Don’t forget the cigarettes ....

I'd use it in the box marked "Source The name of the source (example: The Washington Times)." (IE, Politico44: A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency). You might have to edit for length. It doesn't qualify for a "Barf Alert" but it's good to know upfront we're reading a straight propaganda article.

[Toespi]

I know, I left a lot out. Forget housekeeping, booze, insurance, dog walker, gardeners, doctors, dentists.......yeah, I would need to get away too, it has to be living hell in the White House.

[DManA]

Who was attacking him over it. Cheap little ploy to get some sympathy - poor poor barry, republicans always picking on him.

"The president is going to enjoy the Presidents' Day weekend with some friends," Earnest said

[sheana]

Heck I guess I could use a good vacation in the White Hut then.

[ColdOne]

I’m game for that.

"The president is going to enjoy the Presidents' Day weekend with some friends," Earnest said

That's special.

What friends? The Larry Sinclair type down in the Keys?

[RikaStrom]

heh.

His lips would quiver.
The flies would hover.
His control would slip.
And he’d scream, Behold All, ABANDON SHIP!

You kknow, the usual. ;-)

I see you have a dawg named Fredd. I bet he’s a good dawg. I have a cat named Fred. He’s an unholy terror.

[ColdOne]

Yes I do....Fredd is laying on my foot as I type this! I didn’t give Fredd his name. The rescue center that I got him from did.

He has turned out to be a really good dog.

What kind of cat?

[Cyber Liberty]

Tabby. He’s a tiger cat. He has tiger blood in him. Darksheare calls him Fred the Insane. We love him. Fred is a rescue too. He walked up to our house, and we took him.

[ColdOne]

How wonderful. I had a cat I named Bonji. I named him that because as a kitten he would run and jump on the end tables an take out everything that was on it.

He was grey and white. He would always greet my truck when I came home by running in front of it. One day I had some one else drive , I sat in the passenger seat with the door open when he tried to run in front of it I grabbed his tail. Cured him of running out in front of my truck or any other vehicles.

Bonji was a rescue as well.

[Darksheare]

Would you believe that I, being the goof off that I am, neglected to save either tale or description of Fred The Insane [as a futuristic cybernetic creation] or his “Fred-help”?

[Hoodat]

"The president is going to enjoy the Presidents' Day weekend with some friends," Earnest said

In other words, the President is going to enjoy himself on the day officially designated for HIM - President's Day.

[Cyber Liberty]

It’s all buried in the UT. That cat sometimes drives us to despair....Miss slippy had a good chuckle over the caps-lock tech support.

[Darksheare]

I forgot to add at the bottom “Ignore pleas and cries from other room”.
Fred has no idea how famous he is.
